Extensive decay

Severe Periodontal (Gum) disease

A Broken Tooth to the level that it can’t be restored

If your tooth has suffered severe decay, disease or trauma, emergency tooth extraction in Philadelphia and tooth replacement may be the necessary treatment to alleviate your pain and prevent the spreading of any infection.

Affordable Full Dental Implants in Philly – Tooth Implants

Dental implants are one of the best ways to preserve a natural looking smile., Tooth implants are used to support the restoration of a lost tooth and stop or prevent any jaw bone damage. Implants usually take place over a few scheduled appointments and will eventually merge with the jaw bone, serving as the first step to tooth replacement.

Due to the fact that they connect directly to the bone, dental implants are able to offer a certain level of stability. This also allows your teeth to feel amazingly natural and comfortable. Our Philadelphia office works hard to ensure that they provide dental implants that allow you to feel confident in your new smile!

For dental implants that are sure to preserve your smile for many years to come, Afton Family Dental is the answer.
